You learn a lot, but the environment is very negative

Pros

Once you work at Intel, you can work anywhere.

Great to see the process transfer of technologies.

Cons

You do 100 things right, one wrong, and the wrong one seems to count more.

Zero respect for personal life; expect to work Saturday and Sunday, and into the night on a regular basis, all for the glory.

It's a huge behemoth of a company, and everyone is a number. It's very difficult to get ahead.

Management has little technical knowledge and their only role seems to be to slavedrive reportees.

It's very difficult for experienced people who enter the company to succeed.

Once you total the hours worked, the good salary is probably below average of anywhere else.

Advice to Management

A positive reinforcement and less political climate would go a long way.
